The problem it solves
In today's digital communication landscape, many people struggle with writing clearly and effectively, which can lead to misunderstandings and ineffective communication in both personal and professional contexts.
How it makes money
The business could operate on a subscription model or a one-time purchase for access to the writing program, possibly offering tiered pricing for individuals and teams.
Skills you need
Skills required to run this business include expertise in writing and editing, knowledge of effective communication strategies, and experience in creating educational content.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of remote work has increased the demand for clear written communication, making training programs like Copy That timely. A concrete first-revenue move could involve marketing through the Freelance Writers Den, a Slack community where writers seek resources to improve their skills. A potential risk is the initial capital required to develop high-quality content and exercises, which may delay profitability if the customer acquisition cost remains high due to competition in the online education space.
